smh.....you talkin bout a 6'2" Joe Dumars guarding him
Kobe woulda beasted on them chumps something crazy.
Jordan is lucky he played in a WEAK defensive era with white boys like Craig Ehlo being considered stoppers.
kobe has benefitted from no hand checking rule and a number of defensive/offensive rules changes. as well as the movement back and forth of the three point stripe as well.
also in a zone based era he doesn't shoot anymore than two clips over 39%, presently.
while jordan's lowest clip fg wise is kobe's alltime fg percentage as a rookie.
when jordan made this clip he was just coming out of retirement.
whereas a young kobe was floating airballs showing off his raw lack of bball iq he never really developed.
then had exposed his whole career and finally solidified in o8's green vader as5 whoopin',...plus his humanizing, seventeen points in game sevem agaisnt a wounded ghostzone.
that did not feature the unsersized undertaker kendrick perkins and the celt's at full strength.
so kobe's last repeat titles have an asterik by it.
plus he has an l by his name in any comparison to jordan as well.

not to mention duke got swept by another celtic alumni giy last year in the off's as well. where he shot dismal, and was further exposed.
not to mention kobe is not even in the same dexterity physiologically as jordan.
as jordan on a bum knee outta retirement and a finger lacking responsiveness. still shot what kobe shots right now. whereas kobe is younger and has not retired.
plus his first few years he did not endure any of the similar abuse, physically.
mj received from laney high to unc to the pro's.
yet kobe has more wear and tear and done less.
while also being able to drive to the basket in a less phsyical league.
plus had shaq there to create the space, in the lane making him successful.
dave corzine and eugene banks wasn't helping mike get to the rack at will,..b!!
